The global changes which our planet is currently experiencing are triggering major disruptions that are affecting the ways in which living organisms function, eroding biodiversity and destabilising our ecosystems.

One of the challenges that biology has to take up nowadays is to tackle different scales of investigation in an integrated fashion, ranging from the smallest molecular mechanisms to the largest levels of organisation (such as populations and ecosystems). This will provide us with the resources we need to take action, monitor or even predict how the living organisms of the future will function.
